Bloody Shawshank Redemption!

soapy_jones

Just started back to work after a lengthy lay off and was really hoping for an early night last night as this work malarky is bloody tiring...

Then I stumble on the above whilst idly surfing the channels and AGAIN I am hooked. Bloody knackered this morning.

Are there any films that you just HAVE to watch through to the end?

Mine are,

Godfather I and 2 (can take or leave 3)
Forest Gump
Saving Private Ryan
Shawshank Redemption
Mona Lisa
Once Upon a Time in America

sure there's more...

Bedsaddick

The Crying game..

One that didn't work for me was The Village. The first time I saw it, I thought it was great. Watched it again this week, and now I know the ending, I thought it was the most boring load of old guff ever. Will never watch it again.

Stand by Me
Home Alone
Cocktail

I do this, even when I've got the films on Blu Ray or DVD! Why?! They sit there collecting dust but when they are on TV you end up watching them.

Great cinema takes you on a journey with it. You inhabit that space. It really is a piece of art.

Derailed gets me as well.
